<question>

I'm using the poi-ooxml-schemas jar, but my code is failing with "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openxmlformats/schemas/*something*"
|
||||||
|
</question>
|
||||||
|
<answer>
|
||||||
|
<p>To use the new OOXML file formats, POI requires a jar containing
|
||||||
|
the file format XSDs, as compiled by
|
||||||
|
<link href="http://xmlbeans.apache.org/">XMLBeans</link>. These
|
||||||
|
XSDs, once compiled into Java classes, live in the
|
||||||
|
<em>org.openxmlformats.schemas</em> namespace.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>There are two jar files available, as described in
|
||||||
|
<link href="/overview.html">the components overview section</link>.
|
||||||
|
The <em>full jar of all of the schemas is ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar</em>,
|
||||||
|
and it is currently around 15mb. The <em>smaller poi-ooxml-schemas
|
||||||
|
jar</em> is only about 4mb. This latter jar file only contains the
|
||||||
|
typically used parts though.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Many users choose to use the smaller poi-ooxml-schemas jar to save
|
||||||
|
space. However, the poi-ooxml-schemas jar only contains the XSDs and
|
||||||
|
classes that are typically used, as identified by the unit tests.
|
||||||
|
Every so often, you may try to use part of the file format which
|
||||||
|
isn't included in the minimal poi-ooxml-schemas jar. In this case,
|
||||||
|
you should switch to the full ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar. Longer term,
|
||||||
|
you may also wish to submit a new unit test which uses the extra
|
||||||
|
parts of the XSDs, so that a future poi-ooxml-schemas jar will
|
||||||
|
include them.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>There are a number of ways to get the full ooxml-schemas-1.0.jar.
|
||||||
|
If you are a maven user, see the
|
||||||
|
<link href="/overview.html">the components overview section</link>
|
||||||
|
for the artifact details to have maven download it for you.
|
||||||
|
If you download the source release of POI, and/or checkout the
|
||||||
|
source code from <link href="/subversion.html">subversion</link>,
|
||||||
|
then you can run the ant task "compile-ooxml-xsds" to have the
|
||||||
|
OOXML schemas downloaded and compiled for you (This will also
|
||||||
|
give you the XMLBeans generated source code, in case you wish to
|
||||||
|
look at this). Finally, you can download the jar by hand from the
|
||||||
|
<link href="http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/org.apache.poi/jars/">POI
|
||||||
|
Maven Repository</link>.</p>
